摘要: Research in the field of students’ understandings models and their use science describes different frameworks concerning these understandings. Currently, there is no conjoint framework that combines structures so far, investigation has focused on whether it reflects students' sufficiently (empirical evaluation). Therefore, purpose this article to present results an empirical evaluation a theoretical framework. The integrates relevant research findings comprises five aspects which are subdivided into three levels each: nature models, multiple testing, changing models. study was conducted with sample 1,177 seventh tenth graders (aged 11–19 years) using open-ended items. data were analysed by identifying (nature models) (purpose models), comparing as wel...
